    You forgot to mention that the pilot light needs to be lit manually on older models before the furnace can be run.

    The extension cord should be the same gauge as the camper cord. If not could start a fire

    Do you need to light the pilot light yourself for the furnace? I have a 2004 Fleetwood Laramie and am new to the popup world, I have never used any of the amenities inside yet mainly just cause I'm not sure how.

      The furnace should light by itself.

      The heater burns propane for heat, electricity is needed just for the fan.

      There's definitely a cut off for the lights somewhere, it's to make sure you don't leave them on when you pack up the camper and catch the mattress on fire

      No, the 12 volt switch is only to operate the refrigerator on 12 volt. This guy has no idea what he's talking about. It should only be on when you're traveling to operate the refrigerator.

    Wrong... if you're plugged in and your 12v inverter doesn't work you will have no lights because the inverter puts out the 12v for all the lighting... that's my present situation so I'm bypassing the inverter and adding a 110 to 12v inverter with a fuse block which is way cheaper than replacing the built in nverter.

      We are camping right now. And we don’t have lights. So, I connect the battery and now we have lights but I wish to have light from the electricity in the camp site
